Out of the Dumps

If you're up to your butt writing verse,
I don't think anything could be worse...
well, unless you are dead!
But keep writing a word at a time,
and don't worry if lines do not rhyme;
get them out of your head

onto paper, and then rearrange
them until they dispel or estrange
your depression; arise
from your bed. Write a poem to me
or to someone today you can see.
You can't do otherwise!

Writer's Camp

Others wiser than me say, “You can’t!”
but I’ve always thought that was a rant
which I often ignored
because choice wasn’t given to me.
Writing has become my malady;
a disease I’ve adored

since my youth. I don’t care to be cured
of this chronic illness. It’s endured
and I hope it survives
this long stint where old echoes now reign.
In this forum is where I’ll remain
‘till the new crowd arrives.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Want Adds

No new crowd has arrived. Wonder why?
Are they scared or just painfully shy
to reveal what they write.
Our critique will be mild, watered down
to the point where it won’t cause a frown;
filled with rancor or spite.

There’s no pressure when we socialize
because tweeting ‘round here just applies
to the birds in the trees.
Come and join with a friend or alone
to get help with your writing. We’ll hone
proses and poetries.

It's all free? That's too good to be true?
In these forums it's all about you
and the words you may post.
Here the "crits" mean critiques. This applies
to all help you ask for. Criticize?
Not one hint or a ghost
of the blatant rewrite you may find
on some sites. We are all of like mind
when it comes to your craft.
Whether sand to a pearl or a gem
that need polish; a tune to a hymn...
we won't give you the shaft.

From the shaft of forgotten new forms
I have dredged this one up with the norms.
It may still fade away
but I’d like to give it one more chance
though it’s strange and you may look askance
it is on top today.
Logarhyme it is not for I’ve changed
a few metrics and thus rearranged
just a few minor things.
There are merely a few of them here
but it’s mine and I still hold it dear;
Loglimerhyme still sings.

So you think your loglimerhymes sing
even without traditional bling?
I supposed that they do.
But my time is so limited now;
I've but time to show I still know how
to come up with your brew.

What you do with the brew at this time
will not matter in this vacant clime
but it brings me a smile
so if your time is short, understand
you will never receive reprimand
and I thank you a pile.

If your pile on your thanks I am pleased
because this is the place we have teased
whether we're all alone
or if someone else joins us to write
pieces here, whether serious or trite;
I am not on my own.

On my own, would this form now exist
as a Logarhyme with a small twist
that has brought a few smiles?
I believe, if not for the mistakes
writing one with strange metrical breaks
and then you, with your wiles
gave Loglimerhyme life with a name
and although it will not achieve fame
I just hope that it riles
all the purists who turn up their nose.
They may like it and then I suppose
it will go in their files.

Will it go in their files if they come
and discover amid our ho-hum
your new twist on a form?
I should hope that they would and perhaps
one of them will produce them in CAPS
till they've become the norm!

‘Till becoming the norm it remains
abnormal until somebody deigns
to accept this new form
like the myriad variants passed
which some skeptics declared “it won’t last”
but it weathered the storm.

If a storm has been weathered, does it
become older and scarred? does it sit
to recover its strength?
And how is it we are the ones
who could weather it? did we use guns
to shoot holes in its length?

It’s the length where I shot all the holes;
not because of ulterior goals,
although I must admit
that it’s easier when writing trips
than iambic pentameter quips
and I think it’s a hit.

If you think it's a hit we'll keep on
though I should be out mowing my lawn...
but the mower is down
so I'll finish this last little quip
even though I have run out of zip;
I am too tired to clown

If a clown is too tired to amuse
and the small car he drives will not cruise
then the show is a flop
when the kids cannot laugh at his shtick
and he can’t even do one small trick
just take down the Big Top.

If the Big Top is down the trapeze
can't be seen by the stands' absentees
and the lions don't roar.
There's no place for the horses to whiney
as they circle the grounds with that skinny
young woman, Amor.

That young woman is skinny no more
and the horses she rode all abhor
her ascending to ride
on their back. One and all they’d adore
to unseat her but that’s a real chore;
although many have tried.

Although many have tried to unseat her
it's their secret desire just to cleat her
and to keep her aground.
But alas she climbs up on their backs
and their tails often stick in their cracks
since their straining abounds.

Straining with leaps and bounds makes no sense
when you’re riding a bull. Your defense
is to keep the rope tight
but I still say this sport’s for the dense
who are safer when riding the fence
which your head may bedight.
